What a trip! We had planned this trip for months in hopes of snow for snowmobiling. We had been bitten with bad luck before, and OF without snow and with kids is not super exciting. When we found this house, we knew we would be fine with or without snow. Kids could be in the pool, adults could pretend it was the summer... etc. Luckily, we got snow the weekend before arrival and we got to ride the trails the whole time. Back to the house, it's a stunner, very nice location on top of a hill, with what can only be described as domesticated deer. They pretty much greet you at the property and aren't very scared. We had plenty of room for 2 trucks with snowmobile trailers and a car. We did have to back the 22ft trailer up the hill so we didn't have to back it down when we left, but not an issue. Once inside you are greeted with a heated garage, then a nice laundry room / mud room for gear and the unmistakable smell of a pool! The pool is right there off the mud room and then also accessible from sliding glass doors in the kitchen. The layout really is fantastic. 99% of our time was spent in the kitchen or right through the doors on the teak deck of the pool area. The pool itself is 83 degrees and so is the air in the pool room. All the towels, toys, bluetooth speaker are all laid out and easy to use. The bedrooms are huge, the bathrooms are plentiful, and the living room is comfy minus the recliner which tried to catapult us out of it (must have a broken spring, but it was funny to see when some new victim sat in it). All in all, the house is a perfect rental for anyone visiting OF winter or summer.
As for the non-house things, the communication was 10 out of 5 :), honestly Heidi (property manager) was amazing. She actually did something most people don't do any more... she picked up the phone and called us the day before. She informed us they had just swapped out pool pumps and just wanted to let us know. She didn't have to be this transparent, but knew we had kids and said that if there were any problems, let her know ASAP. While there we had a minor issue with the well pump and losing water for an evening. She helped us through that and we were able to get through the night until a repairperson came early next morning. Again, great communication, things break, but she was quick to fix.
All in all, an amazing property we will rent again!
